Ethiopian Peppers & Portabella

 Good Morning Everyone!  I stuck with my Ethiopian Foods for the week and made this last night!  Ethiopian Peppers and Portabella.  This first picture is the beginning of the prep.  It's just the Red Peppers with the Baby 'Bellas in a glass pan.


Then I added the sauce/marinade.  I will list everything in the dish at the end of this post.  I ended up using one of my Ninja Blenders for the first time with this Marinade and it worked awesomely.




 I covered it with foil and baked it for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees!  The Marinade I used with the spices in addition to the natural juices of the mushrooms and peppers gave it a truly unique flavor.  It was quite Stew-Like and I was very happy with it.  It was aromatic and extremely flavorful.  The spices really were the key to this!  I ended up doing two dishes out of this, really.  I couldn't resist putting some of it over Cous Cous.

And that you can see here!  Of course by doing this the juices were absorbed by the Cous Cous but it does give you another option or an idea for leftovers or larger batches.

6 Red Bell Peppers

1 T Ginger

1 T Wildtree Garlic Galore

1/2 T Skordalia (or you could just use more Garlic)

1/4 t Turmeric

1/2 C Wildtree Balsamic Dipping Oil (I added a little water)

1/2 t Cinnamon

1 T (extra) Grapeseed Oil (I used Wildtree Garlic)

A Dozen or so Babby Portabella Mushrooms

(for the 2nd dish all I did was place it on top of cooked Cous Cous)

Midweek Munchies

It's Midweek Munchies Time!  I would LOVE it if you joined in!  Let me know if you do!  Here's what I got/ordered this week!

I shopped online at VeganEssentials.com today as they are having a 10% off incentive
(today and tomorrow ONLY)

 As you can see the few products above I ordered a Garlic Spread!  I LOVE just about ANYTHING Garlic so I thought I would try this!  I also got another spread!  A Nutritional Yeast Spread.  I heard it was comparable to Vegemite or Marmite so I thought I would try it.  I do make a Earth Balance & Nutritional Yeast Sprinkle topping which is ok but wanted to try this, too!

And then you can see I got TWO different kinds of Ravioli!  I have been craving it lately!  I got the Butternut as well as the Garlic & Roasted Veggies!  I really wanted the Artichoke and Olive but they were sold out!

I have also been craving mashed potatoes but have been too lazy to make my own! So I got the Chreesy ones above.  I tried the plain ones before and I didn't care for them only because they didn't taste like anything.  I really had to 'doctor them up'.  But I heard this flavor is the way to go!  I also got some Potstickers - there are a few Wildtree Sauces I want to try with them!  AND...I got a little snack!  Salty Chocolate Snackle Mouth Granola Clusters.  I LOVE Granola.  Oh yes!  I also re-order my FAVORITE Veggie Burgers.  You can read more about them HERE
